"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

i'm typing this quick because i'm burnt.

me and my girl of 3 months go to the store.
AFC who likes my girl works there.
my girlfriends birthday is tomorrow
AFC says "you get 16 punches", starts punching her. obviously flirting.
first few I kinda laugh, joke around. Then I grab my girlfriend and kinda start pulling her inside of the store. She pulls away and starts running around. I'm not about to chase her, so I start walking in the store.

She catches up to me and is pissed that I didn't "stop him". My ass, I tried walking away with her and she ran out of my arms. She told me I should've either fought him or yelled at him. I asked her why I should fight some loser kid thats trying to flirt. She says "<big guy> would've gotten pissed if someone was flirting with <big guy's girlfriend>"

This pissed me off, so I left her there and went and smoked a blunt with my friend. Then I went back there, picked her up and bought her home. It was like nothing ever happened.

did i do that right?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

dang, a little colder than what is "appropriate" but you got the job done. She just wants to see her control over you and see how far you would go for her (sh1t test).

But i like what you did. :)

Yeah, a little harsh. Be prepared for the end of the relationship though.
